Spoilers: this short article isn’t going to answer the premise of the article. Further spoiler: so many people have discussed this that know more than I do. But an introduction to an idea, or even repetition of common talking points, is fertile ground for thinking of something more deeply.
As long as you make sure to be careful of scams, and that you keep a secure crypto wallet, you can just like NFTs. It can just be an interest you have. Really. You don’t need to know all of the technical jargon. It’s okay.
A.I. and crypto feel connected, don’t they? Two big technological changes at around the same time. Both seeing innovation even as this post goes live. Both talked about every day.
The world has a lot happening in it. Your town, city, state, province, country—you get the idea—has a lot happening in it. Every second, there’s a party, every day there’s a concert.
Hello, and welcome back to The Scam Logs. Here, we go over some of the scams out on the wider internet and help you learn how to spot and avoid them.
As humanity makes better tools, it’s imperative we continue to think about who the tools are for. Not what the tool does, but who benefits from the tools.
No one would call the last several years “normal,” but a few things have remained constant; a few theories of life were as expected. But I think it’s safe to declare 2023 the last “normal year” when it comes to technology—and that’s really only rounding to the end of the year for the sake of this article.
A.I.s, like ChatGPT, are not “intelligent” in the way that term implies. They are extremely powerful tools that we are only beginning to explore their full uses and how quickly they will become part of our day-to-day lives—if they haven’t already.
So, you heard the words “Web 3.0,” and you didn’t even know there was a Web 2.0. Or you mentioned that term to someone else, and they acted like you just referenced particle physics. That’s a more common reaction than you’d think. And, in a way, an apt comparison. Modern tech jargon is notoriously complex, with a lot of terms that relate to other terms that need untangling.
In terms of decentralization, we’re at an interesting point in the world of crypto. This isn’t a sweeping thought—nor does it apply in a lot of cases, but in my research for The Scam Logs, I noticed a trend. I noticed a unified piece of advice when it comes to avoiding pitfalls. The safest places to get NFTs, for instance, are well-established exchanges like OpenSea. The best-regarded wallets are ones like MetaMask. Essentially, trusted brands.
